"Originally, there was also a plan where Tim would help James make his first record, produced by the DFA. James went to that residential farm in Massachusetts. A studio farm. They had nice gear; it is very residential and chill out there. James went for like three weeks. Tim, in great Tim fashion, protested this LCD project and said, “I’m not going to the farm and I don’t want to help you. Go do it yourself.” […] I didn’t say this to him, but I was thinking, “What are you doing? You’re blowing it, dude. That’s another train that’s leaving. You should be part of that, even if you’re just in the room. What are you going to fucking do here for six weeks? Go sit on a farm! Go twiddle knobs up in Massachusetts.” He didn’t want to do it. Didn’t want to give James the satisfaction of, like, “Okay, this one is for you.” It was very selfish."
